The Toll House Cookie Story:

It all started in the thirties when Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn, was experimenting with a favorite Colonial cookie recipe. She cut a bar of Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate into tiny bits, and expecting them to melt, added them to the cookie dough. Instead of melting, the bits of chocolate held their shape, and the Toll House cookie was born. With Mrs. Wakefield's permission, Nestle put her recipe on their wrapper, and in 1939, began selling little pieces of chocolate in ready-to-use packages.
